First of all, I hope you and your family had an amazing Happy 4th!
Now let’s get to today’s lesson…
I received an email from a doctor with the headline:
“Discover the anti-aging benefits of NAD!”
If you don’t know what NAD is, it’s a supplement.
And while there’s some interesting research on it, I couldn’t help feeling bad for all the people who would read his email and end up buying this supplement in the hopes that it helps them live longer.
Why?
Because it’s got people focused on the wrong things.
Most people will die from heart disease. Someone dies from heart disease every 1.7 seconds. And over 50% of people who die or suffer from a heart attack experience no symptoms before the event.
Why would you be messing around with a supplement if you have a belly, you’re not consistent with your workouts and your blood pressure and cholesterol is high?
That’s like worrying about your lawn when your house is on fire.
I promise you that the doctor who sent me the email knows this. But he sent it anyway.
Why?
Because it’s harder to tell someone the truth than to sell them a supplement.
That’s the state of the industry we’re in.
So don’t lose sight of what’s important and get lost in the noise.
Focus on the fundamentals first.
Here is your Unstoppable After 40 Friday Digest:
1. How to stay fit and lean while traveling
Traveling doesn’t have to mean derailing your fitness goals! The key? Be intentional with your food choices.
Protein and vegetables will help keep you full. And if you’re full, you won’t eat as much. So as soon as you look at the menu (preferably before you get there) seek out the high-protein options and vegetable dishes.
Opt for lean proteins like fish, chicken breast, and cuts of steak like sirloin or NY strip. And be mindful of the sauce or dressing that veggies come with.
Better yet, do what I do.
I’ll get some fat-free Greek yogurt or Skyr and some fruit (usually oranges) to have in my hotel room. And I’ll eat this combination so that I don’t show up at restaurants starving.
Vegetables cooked in butter and salad dressings are delicious but will add 100s of calories to your daily total.
And here’s a pro tip – stash some quality protein bars or powder in your carry-on.

2. Short sleep can sabotage your fitness results
A systematic review of 13 studies published this month explored the effect of sleep on the desire to eat sweets.
More and more evidence is showing that the less you sleep, the more you want sweets.
This is one of the reasons why I’ve preached about the power of sleep to help with fat loss.
So next time you’re having a hard time saying “No” to some junky goodness, think about your sleep quality the night before.
You’ll often find your moments of weakness happen when you didn’t sleep well the night before.
While sleep won’t stop fat loss by itself, it’ll make losing fat harder because you’ll be unable to say no to sweet temptations.
3. Get abs 30% faster with this exercise
Looking for a smarter way to sculpt your core?
Ditch the traditional crunch and upgrade to the Ball Crunch!
Here’s why:
Enhanced Range: Engages your abs through a more extensive range of motion compared to the floor crunch, promising better muscle gains.
Spinal Health: Helps maintain spine mobility, stretching into each rep.
Reps: Aim for 10-20 per set.
Sets: 2-3 sets are all you need per session.
Give the Ball Crunch a try today and feel the difference!
